From the beginning, the design and construction of the ACE has taken into consideration its environmental and social impact, and Kangan Batman TAFE has used this opportunity to put into practice its corporate policy on environment and sustainability.

In December, 2005, the ACE Stage One was awarded a 5 Star Green Star Rating, making it one of the most sustainable offices in the State. The offices of the ACE are one of only five 5 Star Green Star rated buildings in Australia in 2005, and the first 5 Star granted to an educational office project in Australia.

The clever design of the ACE will ensure that it only consumes half of the average energy consumption of a typical Melbourne office building, which should reduce greenhouse pollution by 103 tonnes per year - the equivalent to planting 155 trees annually.
